"Tilera's processors outperform everything else in the market on a wide range of data plane and security plane workloads," said Devesh Garg, CEO at Tilera. "Combining a plug-in Tilera adapter with ubiquitous Intel and AMD x86 servers for the control plane enables embedded systems OEMs, datacenter operators and service providers to preserve their investment and achieve maximum performance with no disruption to their infrastructure."

TILE-IQ technology is the convergence of three elements:

TILEncore-Gx™Intelligent Application Adapters - A family of server adapters that incorporates Tilera's TILE-Gx manycore processors scaling from 9, 16, 36 up to 72-cores, with integrated 10Gb to 80Gbps of Ethernet I/O -- all in a low-power PCIe form factor

Multicore Development Environment (MDE) - Tilera's best-in-class development toolkit and runtime software that enables customers to easily port, optimize and customize applications in an industry standard Linux/C based programming environment

Pre-Ported Modular Application Suites - Including foundational elements such as the Software-Defined Network Interface Card (NIC) framework or Open vSwitch (OVS) and spanning up to full applications such as Suricata IDS/IPS or Deep Packet Inspection packages from leading vendors

The TILE-IQ technology uniquely solves the limitations of fixed offload functions, limited capacity, no scalability and antiquated programming environments offered by traditional accelerator vendors. With TILE-IQ, customers can easily re-compile code from their x86 CPU to the Tilera environment and decouple the high-performance and latency-sensitive security and data plane from the control plane to achieve optimum results.

"We see a huge value in complementing our standard x86 servers with Tilera's TILE-IQ acceleration technology," said Octave Klaba, CEO at OVH. "We are able to significantly accelerate critical datacenter functions such as server load balancing, DDoS prevention and crypto security protocols. As the number one hosting provider in Europe, with datacenters aggregating more than 150,000 servers, we plan to deploy numerous offload configurations with Tilera's offerings."

"At NTT, we have been evaluating offload approaches for Hadoop MapReduce on x86 servers, including GPUs, FPGA boards and Tilera's multicore solution," said Dr. Toshimori Honjo, senior researcher at NTT's Software Innovation Center. "We have measured a very impressive 5x performance boost and over 10x in power savings by offloading big data workloads to the TILEncore-Gx Intelligent Adapter."

Production-Ready Hardware - Tilera's TILEncore-Gx Intelligent Application Adapter family offloads and accelerates a wide range of workloads in a standard PCI Express form factor. These adapters include from one to eight 10Gbps Ethernet ports in a single card or can be configured for co-processing applications as well. For OEM's developing customized hardware, Tilera offers the TILE-Gx9, 16, 36 and 72 processors; all are software and application run-time compatible.

Modular Software Framework - TILE-IQ provides a software infrastructure that allows developers to connect different applications together to form the needed functionality. The following applications are available from Tilera and its partners, running seamlessly and scaling across the 9, 16, 36 and 72-core TILE-Gx processor family:

Network Analytics - Wire-speed capture of packets to host processor or to disc with precision time-stamping, and with optional programmable flow filtering at up to 80Gbps

TCP/IP Stack - High performance user-space TCP/IP implementation scales linearly with number of cores. 80Gbps throughput and 1.3M connections/second using a fraction of cores

"As virtualization, NFV, and SDN trends push the market to x86-based servers, more and more pressure is being put on the processor to deliver functionality," said Jason Richards, SVP of business development at Procera Networks. "The TILEncore-Gx family provides the flexibility to offload key functions -- like Procera's NAVL DPI engine -- onto their adapter cards, significantly increasing the performance of the entire solution, while reducing power and space."
